lM PROVEM ENT IN EGG-BEATERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 206,742, dated August6, 1878; application filed July 11, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY GURTIs MANN, of Philadelphia, (Frankford I.O.,) in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented a new and useful improvement in Egg-Beaters, of which thefollowing is a specification:

Figure 1 is a side view of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is an edge viewof the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The essential feature of the present invention is the spiral disk,forming screw or propeller shaped blades, for the object heretoforestated.

I am aware that an egg-beater has been constructed of a stationary frameand a revolving frame operated by means of bevel-gearing.

The object of this invention is to furnish an improved egg-beater whichshall be so constructed as to beat the eggs rapidly and thoroughly, andwithout throwing them out of the dish, and which, at the same time,shall be simple in construction and convenient in use.

The invention consists in an egg beater formed of the handle, the bentwire, the rod, the two small gear-wheels, the large crank gear-whee],the bent strip, the short curved strips, and the perforated spiral disk,as here inafter fully described.

A represents the handle, upon the lower end of the shank of which isformed a cross'head having the ends of a wire, 13, attached to its endparts. The end parts of the wire B are parallel, its middle part is bentinto circular form, and its center is bent into a coil to form an eye,to receive the lower end of the rod 0. The rod 0 passes up through ahole in the cross head of the shank of the handle A, through a groove inthe side of the said shank, and through a hole in an offset formed inits upper part. To the upper end of the red O, in

the offset formed in the upper part of the handle-shank, is attached asmall gear-wheel, D, the teeth of which mesh into the teeth of the largegear-wheel E. The gear-wheel E is piv oted to the middle part of thehandle-shank, and to it is attached a crank-pin, F, to serve as a handlefor operating the beater. G is a small gear-wheel, which revolvesloosely upon the rod 0 at the lower end of the shank of the handle A,and the teeth of which mesh into the teeth of the gear-wheel, E. To thelower side of the small gear-wheel G are attached the ends of a narrowstrip, H, of sheet metal. The end parts of the strip H pass down uponthe opposite sides of and parallel with the rod 0. Its middle part isbent into circular form concentric with the circular part of the wire13, and in its center is formed a hole, through which the lower end ofthe said rod 0 passes. In the side parts of the circular middle part ofthe strip H are secured short curved strips 1, as shown in Fig. 1. Tothe lower part of the rods 0 is attached a circular disk, J, which hasholes formed through it, and is bent into spiral form in such adirection as to force the eggs downward and outward, so that they willnot be thrown out of the dish in which they are being beaten.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The revolving shaft 0, having the spiral disk J,forming screw or propeller shaped blades, in combination with the handleA, bent wire B, having bottom eye, the revolving beater H I, and thegearing D E G, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
